Default Trick out pontoon boats

I recently bought an inflatable pontoon boat and was wondering what some of you seasoned anglers have done for customization.
pics welcomed...

I bought the OUTCAST Discovery, I have a 40 lbs minn kota and anchor rope. I thought about adding a swivel for the seat to better reach the trolling motor... but i will wait to see how the maiden voyage goes. I noticed the inconvience of the oar positions when not in use, I will look in to the $ store fix.

I have a Hummingbird 140c tube style fish finder and saw those " buddy straps" to strap it in. Worth while investment as it is great for ice fishing.

Great stuff to start with, thanks

I mounted a sonar on a Ram system, Scotty anchor lock on the back and a couple of rod holders. Also put a swivel base on the seat.

I had pontoons but carrying two was a b....... went to float tubes but have a buggered up rotator cup so float tubes sit to low to cast with out damage but this unit looks ideal can I ask where you got your and a rough idea of price Thanks.

i have the same unit.they sent me there stripping basket along with the purchase.i got it direct from NF[no charge].it really isn't very functional[very big,cumbersome] one other factor that i considered was carrying cap.800lbs..no pontoon boat can carry that weight...i have seen alot of people pimp out there rigs t/mtrs.12volt batt's,finder's anchor,s etc.then they wunder why they are sluggish,.one thing that no one seems to add is a thether line,from you to the boat..seen a fair no. of guys lose there boats in the fast water,when there landing/handling a fish....take care out there...
